National Poetry Day

A poem to mark National Poetry Day (www.nationalpoetryday.co.uk) -
Diplomatic Immunity
Whether Presidents or Prime Ministers
Or just lesser players in the game
Should politicians assume the right
To lie and cheat and shame?
With total arrogance they flaunt their power
Yet their weakness is plain to see
But they’re not scared, they know they can rely
On the lethargy of people like me.
David Axton, September 2000
